Ants

This is a poem I really like that I recorded in my Journal from 1978.  It was written by a boy in fifth grade in 1965.

Ants

by Larry Smee

An ant is an insect you can hardly see,

But he works much harder than you and me.

To find a creature who earns his worth,

Don't look for a factory, look at the earth.

The nearest anthill is a place of motion,

Everyone works like he's up for promotion.

Under the hill ants live in the nest,

But I often wonder if they ever use it to rest.
